Setting Up Suppliers
A supplier is any person or company being paid for a good or service. According to the Purchasing Handbook, no individual should enter into a business relationship on behalf of Miami University without prior approval. The Office of Strategic Procurement will review all new company setup requests and any individuals paid over $10,000.
To pay suppliers through Buyway, they first must be set up in the system. No supplier is automatically set up; they are added on an as needed basis. If the supplier is not already in Buyway, please submit a Supplier Setup/Change Request with the following supporting documentation (based on supplier type).
